Hi utopiated,
I'm sure that if anything Apocalyptical should happen, the BBC or the detector van will not be looking for your license. It could be however that your enemy (whomever) that might be will be looking for you.
Keep your head low and on the move.
Best regards,
Steve

My question - How is the license issue enforced? If people just listened and learned for a while and then began transmitting - how would others know the user had *not* passed the appropriate level exams?
I presume there are slight differences in this between the UK and US? I certainly cannot recall anyone getting "busted" for having no CB license when legal FM came in... but I realise HAM radio is somewhat stricter and more closely monitored maybe.
